About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell, his headlights reflecting off the gas station’s old sign. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something strange—an eerie glow coming from inside one of the pumps. Curious, he approached the pump and saw that it was just an old light bulb flickering in the dark. With a sigh, he replaced it with a new one, then turned around—and nearly bumped into a neighbor who had stopped for coffee. ‘Same thing happened here last week,’ chuckled the neighbor. The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head. ‘Welcome to Shell, where every night is like a horror movie!’

2. At dusk, an old man walked into Shell and asked the attendant, ‘Do you sell moonlight here?’ The attendant shook his head, but then noticed something strange—every time someone mentioned the word ‘moon,’ the street lamp outside flickered on. Finally, a delivery driver approached the counter and said, 'I’ll take two gallons of gas and one tankful of moonlight.' The attendant smiled and replied, 'No problem, sir—just pay for what you see!'

3. At dawn, a sleepy gas station attendant noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, left overnight near the pumps. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an old thermos filled with freshly brewed coffee and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Thanks for your hard work—have a great day!’ Turns out, a neighbor had seen him working late nights and decided to surprise him with morning caffeine. Since then, every morning, a warm cup of joe appears mysteriously on the counter.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled his tank at Shell, he swore he heard faint laughter coming from inside the empty gas station. Curious, he peered inside and saw only shadows dancing on the walls. Turning off the engine, he decided to investigate further—only to realize it was just his friend, a neighborhood prankster, hiding in the bathroom with a megaphone. They both laughed heartily that night, making Shell’s late-night visits a little less lonely.
